Theatre of Oppression, healing and rebellion: 30 years of of Independent Theatre in Egypt analyzes changes seen in acting and theater as an aesthetic and epistemological field that challenges mainstream culture and oppressive policies from the perspective of over 30 years working in independent theater in Egypt. This work takes the archive and the testimony as its tools in the voice of Noura Amin as an actress, director and choreographer, and fuses it with Ihab Abdelatif’s archival photography, which is considered the only source available to document an era of revolutionary theater.
